A Day of Rest and Relaxation

Saturday morning we woke up to amazing sunshine! It was so hot and the water was so clear, really the perfect day for laying around the beach. The kids made a sand castle with grandma, went snorkeling and we swam in the pretty sea. The colours were so vibrant with the white sand and corals underneath and the warm sun intensifying the greens and blues. It didn't take long to warm up and dry off in the sun after a swim! That's how we spent the first part of morning, playing in the sand and suntanning on the beach. Ryan and I went out for a snorkel and found some really nice coral and big rainbow fish. We saw long sword looking fish and a pufferfish swimming through these little ravines made in the corals. It was so pretty, I loved it.

After some time on the beach we were well roasted and so we made our way to the swimming pool which offered both sunshine and shade. The kids swam some more while I was able to relax a bit and enjoy the beautiful view everywhere I looked.

After our lunch we decided to go for a walk to the end of the beach where Grandma had found some cool lava type rock formations and caves! We walked along the beach passing the marine sanctuary, the diving school and the main restaurant which are all apart of the resort. We made it to the rocks and walked through the water to explore them and climbed up a few to see what was on the other side. Ryan thought about jumping but decided the water wasn't deep enough for a safe landing so instead we just had this amazing view!

It was such a great day. We fed the kids first and put them to bed and then us adults went out for a really yummy dinner later while we again watched the sunset from our dinner table outside on the beach. The breeze kept us cool enough to enjoy our meal and the sound of the waves was so peaceful. The only downer was the Tom Jones wanna be that started singing not so great and drowned out the sound of the waves. But whatever, not even he could ruin our perfect day! Especially with adventure and exploration on our horizons for the next day!
